  • Freud's Last Session (2023)
    Review preview for Freud's Last Session

    Jennie Kermode · 2.5 out of 5
    An imagined meeting between Sigmund Freud and CS Lewis, to discuss the existence or non-existence of God.
  • From Hilde, With Love (2024)
    Review preview for From Hilde, With Love

    This non-sensationalist approach allows much more room to address the psychological effects of prison life itself, whilst emphasising the mundanity of much of what happened under the Nazis.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    In Berlin 1942, Hilde finds her place within an anti-Nazi resistance group as gradually as she falls in love with one of its members. The two spend an unforgettable summer until they get caught by the Gestapo and Hilde is imprisoned, eight months pregnant.
  • Heil (2015)
    Review preview for Heil

    Richard Mowe · 3 out of 5

  • Hinterland (2021)
    Review preview for Hinterland

    Jennie Kermode · 4.5 out of 5
